The Swiss fund boutique Fisch Asset Management is strengthening its sales team in Germany with the appointment of two sales employees: Gudrun Nagel and Rik Verhoeven will be responsible for the account management and acquisition of institutional and wholesale clients.

As Managing Director of the subsidiary Fisch Asset Management GmbH in Germany (subject to regulatory approval), Gudrun Nagel has taken up her role in January 2025. She will focus on institutional clients and consultants. Before her move, she looked after pension funds, insurance companies and consultants at responsAbility Investments AG since 2020. Prior to that, she worked in various similar roles for more than 20 years at the likes of Deutsche Asset Management, Lazard Asset Management, Aberdeen Asset Management and Feri Institutional Advisors. Gudrun Nagel holds a degree in economics with a focus on banking from the Frankfurt International School of Finance.

Rik Verhoeven will join the Frankfurt team as Managing Director (subject to regulatory approval) on 3 February. Previously, he was with Aegon Asset Management, where he served as Head of International Business Development since 2017. Prior to that, he worked at Delta Lloyd Asset Management for the majority of his career. There, he was responsible for marketing and sales for the German-speaking region for around ten years and was also a member of the company's management team in Amsterdam from 2013 to 2017. Rik Verhoeven holds a Master's in General Management from Nyenrode University.

Torsten von Bartenwerffer, CEO of Fisch Asset Management, comments: “The German market, alongside Switzerland, is our absolute priority. We are therefore delighted to welcome such seasoned sales colleagues to our team. The team will expand our local presence and leverage the current momentum of our investment strategies, using their expertise in the interests of our clients.”
